But a year-plus into Trump’s four-year term, polls suggest the American people aren’t just increasingly unhappy with his job performance; they’re increasingly concerned about his mental capacity as well. The survey harks back to some surveys in Trump’s first term, when many Americans grew to question his mental acuity. But the percentage who doubts Trump’s mental sharpness (56 percent) is actually similar to where Biden was at this point in his term. The percentage of them who are “very confident” in Trump’s mental fitness has dropped from 75 percent to 66 percent. By April 2024, the percentage of voters saying they were “very confident” was only 21 percent for mental fitness and 15 percent for physical fitness.
